A5: there's a lot of power in asking good questions. you can ask questions that prompt them, in responding, to be especially mindful and focused and persistent; questions initiate response-generation, which often compels a necessary diligence #whatisschool
A6: This is building relationships, finding the students "why", believing that the impossible is possible, student centered learning, and did I mention building relationships?! #whatisschool
I am so inspired to do more! This is the best part of the chat for me tonight! Might have failed as a co-moderator, but this connection is everything! #whatisschool
Bringing out the genius, the individual gifts of your students look like in your classroom and school? If your students were to answer this question, how would they respond? #whatisschool
A6 Especially in the younger grades give Sts time, time to reflect, to think, to problem solve, to come up with their own answers and then time to ask their questions. Space time and joy in learning and living #whatisschool
Cannot thank you enough for the invitation! Loved the different perspectives & the commitment to bring out the best in every student! TY all for being extraordinary! #whatisschool
Honestly, this is exactly what just happened tonight thanks to all of you joining #whatisschool! I am humbled by the number of educators who inspire me to want to be more & do more!

I love this! I always try to tell my students that it is okay that they are struggling because that is what learning is all about. #whatisschool#troll209
I agree that feat has absolutely no place within school walls. Students who are in fear will not attend school, and students who do not attend school cannot learn #whatisschool#troll209
A6: Differentiation in the classroom is so important. Everyone learns differently and it is up to us as educators to instruct each student in a way that brings out their individual gifts. #troll209#whatisschool
